Documentary Master: David Attenborough



I don't run a car, I have never run a car. I could say that this is because I have this extremely tender environmentalist conscience, but the fact is I hate driving. 
(David Attenborough)


The whole of science, and one is tempted to think the whole of the life of any thinking man, is trying to come to terms with the relationship between yourself and the natural world. Why are you here, and how do you fit in, and what's it all about.
(David Attenborough)


Sir David Attenborough is Britain's best-known natural history film-maker. His career as a naturalist and broadcaster has spanned nearly five decades and there are very few places on the globe that he has not visited.
